Driving under Influence
(asked on 3rd June 2016) - View Source
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will bring forward legislative proposals to introduce a zero-tolerance policy for drink driving for commercial drivers in England and Wales.
This question was answered on 13th June 2016
The Government has no plans to lower the drink drive limit in England and Wales - this includes for commercial drivers. We believe that rigorous enforcement and serious penalties for drink drivers are a more effective deterrent than changing the drink driving limit.
